woodwind style

Ben Niven

I dug out my old alto recorder several years back and got thinking if I could just learn to play a simple phrase or two on it, I could incorporate it into a song. It was a nice idea, but in practice I did better at digitally editing a take together–from bits and pieces that were in time or in tune by accident–rather than being able to play anything through consistently without mistakes. I came up with a guitar and bass part and some self-consciously sarcastic lyrics to go along with it. One of these days I might convert my .wav file of it to a better-quality .mp3 and replace this version, but I’m on a roll uploading stuff at the moment, etc.
